Recent evidence suggests that managers establish a positive link between management accounting system (MAS) integration and controllership effectiveness, which is fully mediated by the perceived consistency of financial language. Our paper extends this research by analyzing whether controllers...

With a steady increase of regulatory requirements for business processes, automation support of compliance management is a field garnering increasing attention in Information Systems research. Several approaches have been developed to support compliance checking of process models. One major...

Lead time is one of the major limits that affect planning at every stage of the supply chain system. In this paper, we study a continuous review inventory model. This paper investigates the ordering cost reductions are dependent on lead time. This study addressed two-echelon supply chain problem...

In a master surgery scheduling (MSS) problem, a hospital's operating room (OR) capacity is assigned to different medical specialties. This task is critical since the risk of assigning too much or too little OR time to a specialty is associated with overtime or deficit hours of the staff,...

When considering fairness one must ask two fundamental questions. Firstly, what does it mean to be fair? And secondly, how does one measure that fairness? Different authors have offered different notions and metrics to address these questions. We provide arguments identifying where past metrics...

Facing harsh competition in global marketplaces, management must construct the best possible supply chains to meet client requirements of quality, timely, and diverse products. To accelerate the fabrication rate can help shorten the length of the refilling cycle, and the reworking of repairable...

Traditionally, mathematical optimization methods have been applied in manufacturing industries where production scheduling is one of the most important problems and is being actively researched. Extant studies assume that processing times are known or follow a simple distribution. However, the...

In transportation via containers, unbalanced movement of loaded containers forces shipping companies to reposition empty containers. This study addresses the problem of empty container repositioning (ECR) in the distribution network of a European logistics company, where some restrictions impose...

This article applies game theory in the company under study, in order to optimize the competitive strategy with respect to its main competitor in the bicycle and motorcycle market. Once the problem is defined, the zero-sum matrix between the competitors is established, then the model is...

Minimum-cost spanning tree problems are well-known problems in the operations research literature. Some agents, located at different geographical places, want a service provided by a common supplier. Agents will be served through costly connections. Some part of the literature has focused,...
